The design of a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) facility which, it is proposed, will be constructed at a number of locations across the UK. Learn more about this project

The facility consists of two large connected industrial buildings designed to a very high acoustic, thermal insulation and air-tightness standard. Housed within Building 1 are large autoclaves to steam treat the raw waste and separate recyclable waste materials. Building 2 houses pyrolysis plant to convert the treated waste to gas which in turn is converted not electricity by gas fired generator. The electricity will be fed into the UK national grid.

This €50 million project is proposed to commence on site in late 2015, and involves the erection of a nine storey new extension to the existing hospital. Learn more about this project

The project has required detailed safety planning and phasing as part of the design stage to ensure the existing hospital continues to function without risk to patients or staff and in particular, that traffic movements, both pedestrian and vehicular, can be safely maintained for the duration of the works. Safety planning issues also involved addressing existing extensive services diversions as part of the enabling works (without interruption of hospital services); planning for the erection of a bailey bridge over the river Lee to facilitate construction works, and the removal of the existing traffic bridge and design of a new of a new permanent, and larger traffic bridge over the river.

Construction of a two number new design build three storey radiation oncology units (approx. 6,066m2 each) on existing hospital campuses. Learn more about this project

These projects were constructed on existing busy hospital campuses that had to remain functional for the duration of the works. The works had to be planned, phased and carried out so as to minimize interruption to traffic movement on this extremely busy hospital campus. One of the major health and safety risks on both sites involved dealing with existing underground services. Due to the critical importance of maintaining services on a hospital campus each stage of these enabling works involved serious safety implications for patient safety were treated as separate projects involving the preparation of specific staged Preliminary Safety & Health Plans identifying the particular risks involved in each element of the works.
